これらは大御所中の大御所、Steven Slateが言ってることです。
私みたいな馬の骨が言ってることじゃないので説得力は高いはずです。
■いろいろ抜粋
Compressing your reverb returns a bit can thicken them up in a cool way, try it #protips

リバーブにコンプという手法があるよ!
Following your delay with a small reverb at 40% wet can mellow it out, and create even more depth #protips
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 26, 2012
ディレイにリバーブを掛ける方法があるよ!
Digital Peak Limiters are effective for transparently taming overly dynamic acoustic guitars. Try it #protips
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 29, 2012
個別楽器のコンプだけではなく、リミッターを積極的に使うこともあるよ!
Want a brighter snare? EQ some top into the overheads.. you'll get there quicker than just eqing the close mic alone #protips
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) May 2, 2012
パラアウトが最高とは限らないよ!
I'll say it again. Don't eq your close mic drums until you've checked their phase coherency with the overhead mics #protip
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) May 23, 2012
No matter how much eq or compression you put on your snare.. if it's not in phase with the overheads, it won't get punchy!
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) August 22, 2012
安易なマルチマイクでは何やっても無駄だよ!
Kick drum mic too clicky & thin? Start out by low passing to remove that thin top end junk, then add some mids and lows to fatten.
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 8, 2014
キックで大事なのは低周波数帯域じゃないよ!
MASSIVE Bass: Crank 8db @ 60Hz. Follow w/ 10db of medium speed compression. Finalize by hipassing at 30Hz & dip 80hz to let kick breathe
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 24, 2014
キックが一番下とは限らないよ!
Don't be afraid to extend the bandwidth of the eq to it's maximum width.. wider smaller boosts tend to sound more musical #protips
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 28, 2012
EQのQ幅は狭いほど良いわけじゃないよ!
Wide Bass? Copy Bass to stereo track, hi pass till about 300Hz, distort a bit, send to wide chorus, mix in SUBTLY with dry Bass #protip
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) May 17, 2012
ベースはセンターモノラルとは限らないよ!
Fat Kick Drum Tip on Electronic or Rock: Use Stereo Pitch Shifter on aux, 10 cents down/up on each side w/ NO DELAY.. mix in very subtly
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) November 4, 2013
キックもセンターモノとか限らないよ!
Dry Vox with "life": Use a stereo pitch shifter, left side 9cents down 20ms, right side 9cents up 40ms, mix in very subtly!
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) July 25, 2012
メインボーカルもセンターモノとは限らないよ!
Compression on a vocal is not a substitute for automation. Ride the vocal fader to ensure each part is articulate in the mix! #ProTip
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 8, 2014
ボーカルはコンプして終わりじゃないよ!
Before you touch the eq or compressor knob, make sure ur brain knows what you intend to do with it, & how it may enhance the mix #protip
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) May 25, 2012
エフェクタに触りながら考えちゃダメだよ!
People like a dynamic song.. automate the master fader a db or so to enhance sections, especially the hooks! #protip
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) May 31, 2012
マスターフェーダーは固定しないよ!
When u try to get ur mix levels balanced, resonances in ur room can confuse ur ears. Checking levels at quieter volumes is crucial.
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) April 11, 2014
The best way to get midrange balances right (such as vocals to guitars).. is at low listening volumes! Try it!
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) August 12, 2013
デカい音でミックスするとまずいこともあるよ!
If you add too much top end to your drums, they will lack body in the mix and sound thin.. Beware of the deadly SOLO button!
— Steven Slate (@Slateproaudio) August 13, 2013
ソロ聞きしてるとまずいことがあるよ!
